Thank YOU for being our BigFamily!

It’s almost Thanksgiving, are you more excited about the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, or pumpkin pie? To get in the holiday spirit, we asked our team what they are most thankful for this year and we want to share the warmth and positivity with you. We’re so grateful for you, and we wish you a blessed season ahead.

“I’m thankful for my family + being able to travel (for work & pleasure). I’m thankful for in-person events and anytime I can see a speaker!”  – Michelle Gustafsson, Strategic Account Advisor

“I’m thankful to be going to a conference in-person in Chicago where I’ll be seeing and speaking with actual people! Yay! ” – Laura Yellen, Bureau Liaison

“Incredibly grateful for the moments and time in person we get to have now with our family, friends and clients. And rare moments when I get to go surfing!” – Barrett Cordero, President

“I am “thankful” for so much (especially my health, my Sons, and my Husband) but I have a special spot of gratitude for my mom and the fact that I got to be a part of her retirement celebration. She is having lots of fun and no longer working, after being with the same hospital organization for 48 years. I’ve loved watching her unload the stress and reload her fun-factor.” – Amy Dernus Jones, Vice President & Strategic Account Advisor

“So thankful for my health this year and for the opportunity to be out in the world again to see the fruits of our labors at in-person events with our clients and speakers – makes all the work worthwhile! Thankful for a wonderful team of people to work with every day! And hummingbirds… very thankful for hummingbirds!” – Daria Wagganer, Vice President & Strategic Account Advisor

“I am SO grateful for 2, happy, healthy kids and being able to talk on the phone with my son in his 1st year at college. I am grateful for living in SB, sports, health, this wonderful company, being near my 84 year old dad AND the fact that my sister just moved here full time!!” – Julie Whalen, Strategic Account Advisor

“Grateful for our BigFam” – Ken Sterling, Executive Vice President & Chief Learning Officer
